“On average 10% of applications in an unoptimized portfolio are candidates for retirement. An additional one-third can require migration or rationalization”. - Jim Duggan, Gartner analyst (Plan Legacy Application Retirements carefully, April 2009)

Application Retirement is part of Application Portfolio Management that must be undertaken on a continuing basis since applications often outlive their usefulness. However, one may need to retain and manage legacy data from such applications which are candidates for retirement.

During this webinar, you will learn how Solix EDMS Application Retirement along with Solix Application Retirement Managed Services can help organizations

* Target which applications to retire
* Decide which data to keep, for how long and for what purpose (compliance, litigation support, records management or business operations)
* Determine the access requirements
* Determine the optimal secure platform to retain such legacy data; and finally
* Calculate the benefits of retirement

Application Retirement is essentially about reducing costs: of hardware/software AMC, and people trained on legacy systems.

This Presentation covers the three essential ingredients of any business case for implementing database archiving functionality for an existing database application

* Cost reduction
* Productivity improvements
* Risk reduction

This Webcast shows how to compute the value for operational applications, for retired applications, and for using database archiving as part of an application renovation project. It also includes a list of participants who should be working together as a team to determine the worth of such projects.

During this webinar, you will learn how database archiving, when applied properly to an appropriate application can return huge value and reach ROI in a very short time.

“Application Retirement is emerging as a structured approach in application portfolio management. The costs associated with managing legacy applications can be significant – organizations must maintain expensive application operating environments simply because they need to retain application data. Extracting data from legacy applications in a simple and straightforward way while ensuring access to this data over time allows organizations to reduce costs and ensure compliance.” - Sheila Childs, Gartner’s Research Director of Storage Technologies and Strategies
